She is also a director of the Edinburgh based film and television Production Company, Faction North Ltd.
In 2014 she directed the BAFTA nominated feature length archive and music documentary 'From Scotland With Love' which screened with live performances of the score at the Edinburgh International Festival, Barbican, Celtic Connections as well as film festivals around the world – ‘Brilliantly evokes the flavour of 20th century Scotland’ - The Herald; ‘Hypnotic’ - The Independent; ‘Some kind of genius’ - The Guardian. A highly successful new tour of the
film and live music performance played to sold out venues including the Barbican, Usher Hall, Edinburgh and Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow in March 2020.
Virginia Heath’s hypnotic archive film, From Scotland With Love, offers a cinematic reflection on 20th century Scotland - and the human experiences that defined the era. A journey into our collective past, this is an exploration of universal themes of love, loss, resistance, migration, work and play. Ordinary people, some long since dead, their names and identities largely forgotten, appear shimmering from the depth of the vaults to take a starring role.
